About this Research Topic
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic organisms including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and can be spread directly or indirectly from one individual to another, which poses significant public health challenges and causes substantial economic losses to the veterinary industry. Non-coding RNAs including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are shown to play important roles in the regulation of various aspects of pathogen infection. Recent studies have documented that non-coding RNAs are involved in pathogen invasion, host pathological reactions and pathogen-host interactions. The emerging understanding of the roles of non-coding RNAs related to pathogenicity and host defense may lead to the development of novel intervention strategies against infectious diseases.
A deep understanding of key molecules involved in the pathogenicity of harmful pathogens as well as host defense may help to develop alternative and effective intervention strategies against infectious diseases. This research topic aims to call the recent advances in key roles of non-coding RNAs during the invasion, persistence, and pathogenesis of different categories of pathogenic organisms. Roles of non-coding RNAs in host pathological reactions and pathogen-host interactions are also included. The Research Topic will provide a unique perspective for understanding the pathogenicity of harmful pathogens and could further help readers to understand the roles of non-coding RNAs from basic to applied research in many different infectious diseases.
The Research Topic will cover studies related to the roles of non-coding RNAs including but not limited to microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in pathogen invasion, persistence, pathogenesis, host pathological reactions and pathogen-host interactions. The topic also includes ongoing questions such as how pathogen ncRNAs contribute to modulate host immune response, how both pathogen and host ncRNAs coordinate to benefit the survival and transmission of pathogens. We will be interested in Original Research papers, Review articles, Short Communications and Methods that covering the topics for infectious diseases caused by pathogens including parasites, and microbiota.
